Our mediators

Qualified Family Mediators in London and Surrey

Our principal mediator is Euan Davidson who is a member of the Family Mediators Association and a government-accredited mediator with the Family Mediation Council (enabling him to undertake Mediation Information and Assessment Meetings – MIAMs – and sign the mediator’s section of court forms) and the Legal Aid Agency as well as being a qualified family solicitor with a background in both the advice sector and the international development sector. This varied background enables Euan to understand and engage in the varied issues that people face when their relationships are coming to an end, whilst also providing him with the legal knowledge to ensure that any proposals made are sound from a legal perspective.

Euan is a qualified Professional Practice Consultant (PPC), meaning that is able to supervise other mediators, as well as being trained in seeing children as part of the mediation process (Direct Child Consultation – DCC).

“Euan is an excellent mediator. At first, I was very apprehensive as I did not know what will happen. Through Euan’s patience, empathetic listening ability, calmness, understanding, preparation and seeing it from all parties sides in a sincere way, we found common ground and were able to find a way that worked for all parties without going into the demystified legal process and incurring huge sums of money as well as emotional distress. Instead, we were able to go through the process, my kids can still remain in their stable home, my wife and I parted as ‘friends’ (or close to it) rather than enemies and I have a fabulous relationship with my children whom I love very much. That is the sign of a great mediator. Thank you Euan.”

Mr G, January 2016

I am hugely grateful to Godalming Family Mediation for gently steering us towards an amicable resolution to our difficult family dispute. Euan was calm, impartial and listened carefully to help us understand the best possible outcome for all parties. Highly recommended.

Mrs B (February 2018)

Euan was always calm and helped diffuse awkward and potentially very stressful discussions. My husband and I could speak together with an independent person present and so tempers did not flare. He helped us understand the need for compromise was able to write a Memorandum of Understanding and a financial agreement that will hopefully be less costly in the long term. I would recommend mediation as a way of building bridges with your partner so that the divorce does not become acrimonious.

“You were fantastic in helping me deal rationally with the issues and I really appreciated your calming presence during the meetings”

Mr T

Thank you for all your help, I felt you were completely impartial and professional at all times, and clear in making sure we both understood what was happening during the process. Setting up the mediation and challenging [my spouse] on certain issues was a huge step for me personally and I felt in a safe environment to be able to do this.

Mrs C (February 2018)

The truth is the Separation and divorce has been a disaster for me. Having said that I know it would have been a great deal worse had it involved separate lawyers and court proceedings. So in avoiding that fate I would like to say how grateful I am to you and the mediation process.”
